If you’re old enough to remember when The Simpsons was good, you may remember a brilliant joke from 1997’s X-Files crossover episode The Springfield Files (season 8 episode 10). In the episode, Bart’s friend Milhouse Van Houten is playing a “Kevin Costner’s Waterworld game, based on the notoriously expensive flop blockbuster. In the show, Milhouse pumps 40 quarters ($10) into the game only to be greeted with a “game over” message.
Well, if you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to actually play the game, you’ll soon be in luck! Australian Twitch retro gaming streamer and indie game developer Macaw revealed on Twitter that he’s releasing his fully playable reimagining of the fictitious game for PC as freeware on 9th October.
It goes without saying that this fan project isn’t endorsed or licenced by either Disney or Universal Pictures.
